tafnut, I'm calling you out

You are going to have to eat your words, my man.

Re: tafnut, I'm calling you out

Tell me sumpin I don't know. I expect that this 'call out' has to do with what I just saw on TV - Lauren Williams. Did I not agree that she has great turnover?! There is no doubt LW is a great talent. But so is MJ. We'll see. If MJ loses, it won't be the only mistake I made in my picks - I had Hartwig at second!

Re: tafnut, I'm calling you out

Bro, you know I'm just joshin. I'm actually having a pretty positive experience on a Friday night. It's all in good fun!

It wouldn't surprise me if MJ won, or not. I just love the Trials.

Re: tafnut, I'm calling you out

How did Marion look in her heats? I see that she was beaten by LCR - shame about the wind they're having to run in to.

How did Lauryn and Inger look?

Re: tafnut, I'm calling you out

I had Hartwig second too.

The trials will not hang on that mistake...

Re: tafnut, I'm calling you out

LW showed blazing acceleration. Everyone else just looked like they were just trying to move to the next round.

Re: tafnut, I'm calling you out

Jon, uh, Lauryn and Inger looked quite adequate.

Lol, c'mon! Little bit more detail (a la tafnut)!

Tafnut - you say Lauryn was blazing, so I'm guessing she's making the schoolgirl mistake of parhaps running too fast in the heats..? (unless she's doing it for the psychological advantage..?). Apart from her, who looked the best in the heats? I.e. did it look as if any of them were holding back, or did some of them appear to be struggling, etc...?

Re: tafnut, I'm calling you out

Jon, no heats.

Tonight was quarterfinal only. They scratched the heats when a bunch of people unexpectedly scratched.

It's a dogfight from here on out.

(Edit, just for one person. LW's heat was over 10 meters on.)

I know, I know! I'm just always inclined the call the first round (whether it be heats, quarters, semis, etc) "the heats". Not that it matters much.

Re: tafnut, I'm calling you out

LW looks like she has only one speed - fast. She will definitely make the team.

Kennedy is being interviewed right now. He's out.

emphasis on 'not that it matters much' - 3 100m runs in two days isnt exactly deadly, plus her 'blazing' (in relation to the other qualifiers) time was still what, nearly 2/10ths of a second off her ncaa champ time..

Re: tafnut, I'm calling you out

basehead, she coasted from 60 meters on in.

Re: tafnut, I'm calling you out

Yeah, LW made the run seem effordless. She's pretty amazing. I saw her at NCAA's. I beleive its going to be a repeat victory for her. I don't think MJ can hang with her.

All the heats were negative wind, 1-2 mps. Williams' heat had the least wind, but I still thought she looked best. Marion looked a bit sluggish, IMO, and Gail & Inger looked quite good.

Although I am a huge Gail Devers fan, I almost hope she doesn't make it in the flat 100, so she will be more likley to concentrate on the hurdles. I would love to see her add that final "bullet" to her resume, the Oly Gold 100H, but at the same time I want to see a fantastic Olympic final, with Felicien, Alozie, Ennis-London, Foster and Gail all in it, plus ???
Can't wait,
